9 Enjoying Life and some Preparation
It's late in the afternoon so Ziade decides to just have a long rest since he has had a long day and... he's frowning again... from him thinking too much... Ziade walks back with Masamune in its sheath, he walks straight in and locks the door getting ready to have a rest. Ziade first wants to brush his teeth but he knows that he can't since he has nothing. Ziade knows he needs to go shopping tomorrow and believes that with an Advanced like Medieval times society, there's a good chance that there is tooth paste or at least tooth powder that he can brush his small baby teeth with.
Ziade makes Masamune float in the air next to his bed and dares not let it on the ground... because it might not weigh anything to him but it ways ten tonne to anything and anyone else.
...Ziade slowly falls asleep... while the lava lamp still floats around his room...
Next morning, Ziade is up early in the morning when the sun is just rising, Ziade gets straight up and make his bed then fixes his hair with his hands. Ziade walks straight out leaving Masamune floating in his room since he knows that will bring unwanted attention. He locks the door and walks to the gate where the guard stands...
"Good Morning Mr Idirop." Ziade greets the him.
"Morning Ziade, what are you doing up so early?" Haimeke replies.
"I am buying some clothes and some other stuff."
"Alright, head on in kid."
Ziade says no more and walks through the gates.
He finally arrives at the markets where people sell their items at stalls... it was quite lively their were people bargaining prices, kids running around and pets having some fun,people chillin out, they were advertising products everywhere, hell he even saw unique stray animals that resembled cats trying to steal food from a stall owner.
"This looks fun..." A little boy says staring at everything... it was Ziade.
He walks in and some people start whispering to each other chatting about him being alone and why he's here by himself. Ziade knows what's happening around but he doesn't care as long as no one tries to do anything funny to him.
Ziade walks up to an old man who sits on a rocking chair and he's selling what looks to be... bathroom products.
"Senior may I know which products I can buy that are to clean myself and are cheap." Ziade ask the old man who continues to stare at him when he approached his stall.
The old man stops rocking his chair then slowly gets up and grabs a few items and says, "Boy these are hair products, soap, tooth brush that brushes you with this" He picks up some white looking paste that is in a glass jar. "These strings can go in between your teeth where your brush cannot reach and this is smooth paper cloth that you use to wipe your ass. Would you like to buy them?" The old man responds with a straight face.
"Yes Sir, how much do they cost?"
"If you buy all products named I will charge 6 silver."
"Senior can I get 20 of each if you have the stock." Ziade replies.
"...your lucky kid there is new stock but can you afford it? That'll be 1 gold and 20 silver coins." The old questions with a slight smile.
"Senior I can." 2 gold coins magically appears on his hand. Ziade had figured out that items can be put inside items for example he could have 20 gold coins in that pouch in one slot and could pick out items he pulls out of the item that hold the items. He still hadn't experimented with what the system could fully do but he figured he had all time in the world.
'Rich kid... and that ring must be a Lacuna Ring...' The old man thinks.
"Here you go Senior and you can keep the 80 silver if you can keep at least one of your best skin and hair products for me. If not I'll give another gold."
".... kid." He nods his head while smiling and stashes the 80 silver. "... I'll go pack the products in a box for you."
After a couple of minutes the old man comes back with a box and places it on the ground beside Ziade.
"So kid... what's with the deal of best products of mine..? For you?"
"They're for my friend." Ziade replies.
The old man cracks a massive grin across his face, "Friend... your girl? Hahahaha!!"
"Senior, I'm too young and can't be bothered." Ziade says staring at the old man who is laughing but then the old mans face suddenly turns dead cold.
Ziade picks up the box and says , "Thankyou Senior I am Ziade, I hope you treat me well in the future."
"Haiken Vi." The old man states his name. Haiken grins widely when Ziade leaves.
Ziade walks away with the box and in thoughts, 'That man isn't someone ordinary.' Woman's intuition passed onto him by Tara had kicked in.
Haiken Vi who has now gone back to rocking on his chair is thinking, 'The kids no more than 3 years old and holds such immense power, it might be hidden... but I felt that hidddn sharpness in his voice and the way he moves... Sword Master... it's not possible... he holds power but he is not strong enough yet, I guess he'll be going to an Academy...' Haiken stops for a few seconds before thinking again. 'I might be one of the very few who can sense his power. No match for me but it is the most incredible thing I have seen... a 2 year old kid has mastered the way of the sword...it's not possible'
While Haiken Vi was thinking to himself Ziade was on his way back but stopped when he saw something...
'Towels and hand cloths?' Ziade sees the things he needs and pays 4 silver for 2 towels and two hand cloths, he places them on top of the box he is carrying.
Ziade carries his stuff and uses lickety split walking when no ones near him and almost instantly arrives home. "I hate doing that, but I couldn't be bothered talking to that guard..."
Ziade speaks out aloud about it since it is his discomfort because he likes to see the things around him peacefully but with the skill he still sees his surroundings but... it just doesn't feel the same to him.
Ziade slowly puts down his box then unlocks the door. He chucks the key on his bed and brings in the box with the towels and hand cloths on top. He unboxes the items and places them all in a corner of the room for later use, but then puts 1 of every item in his inventory.
'Before I go over to Elizabeth's place and see what she's up to... I've got three things to do.' Ziade thinks for a bit before thinking... some more...
'Inventory, Masamune and some training...' Ziade says.
'Ok let's do it.' But then Ziade just asks Okini instead to save more time so that he can go to Elizabeth.
'Okini, how far can I reach so that I can put stuff in my inventory?' Ziade asks.
'1 metre.'
'What about... how much items can I put in an item that is in one slot?'
'As many as you like.' Okini replies.
'Cheat! ... so if had a chest full of items it would just count as the chest?'
'Indeed but no living things.'
'What about the size? Is there a limit on size for my inventory?'
'No big or massive items. Only medium to small.'
Ziade thinks to himself, 'Not a definite answer but I'll just see myself.'
Ziade tried to put his house in his inventory... and it magically appears to have DISAPPEARED to nowhere... it lies in the same spot. 'Tsk', it doesn't matter that much anyway.'
Ziade has a decent understanding of his inventory and moves on to understand his Masamune...
He now has the Masamune behind his waist and walks out of his house and goes to his training ground... which his just dirt behind his house. He immediately starts his test and drops Masamune straight to the ground.
Masamune doesn't do anything... it just stays there unharming the Earth it lies on.
'Okini why doesn't Masamune go through the ground?'
'Ziade, it does not harm anything that doesn't have sentience.' 'This Earth beneath you has no soul or mind.'
'Masamune listens to you and you only can make it destroy anything at your will or may you wish to not harm anything it will abide.' 'Masamune only doesn't want to be moved unless you will it to. Understand Ziade?' Okini patiently explains.
'One more thing Okini, does Masamune not allow anyone to move her unless I will and also anyone to touch her?' Ziade questions.
'Yes for the first question and Masamune is the Katana not the Scabbard. No one other than you can now unsheath it.' The golden snakes that decorate the sheath will send a powerful force to anyone that persists to unsheath it. And Ziade you know that Masamune has no gender and it will take hundreds of years for it to gain a soul of its own.'
'Okini I just call Masamune a female since I want to and I have feelings towards her. And no I don't mean love, I mean like a man loves his cars that's what I mean. Thanks Okini as well.'
'Anytime Ziade.' Okini saying that even though he doesn't understand the example.
"NOW THIRD!" Ziade yells. He starts doing some stretches, pushups, sit ups, planks, sword movements, martial arts and running. Ziade doesn't do anymore in fear of preventing his growth but practices Wing Chun pretending to fight someone.
'Congratulations you have mastered Wing Chun.' Okini states.
'Information: A martial art of Kung Fu.'
Ziade knows what just went down and was expecting it. He tries the only other art he knows, Western Style Boxing.
'Congratulations you have mastered Western Style Boxing.' Okini announces again.
'Information: A martial art.'
After learning many things today and a tiring workout even two more skills, Ziade heads back home and pours out the dirty water then refills it back at the well, after his body nearly dies from carrying it back he locks his door and has a bath to refresh himself and heal his body.
After doing all the necessary stuff Ziade heads out and walks towards the directions Elizaneth gave him... with his Masamune.
He finds the sheep farm 200 metres past the cotton farm and notices a man herding the sheep into a cage with his horse.
'Origin Endocrine third level.' Okini states.
The man notices him and waves since he's been told, he looks at the sky and notices it's about 14:00.
Ziade walks up to the well built man tanned man with a prickly beard and long curly hair, "Hi Mr Nomso I'm Ziade, I assume Elizabeth has told me about you?"
"Hey! Ziade I've heard your pretty smart and tall for your age... I guess she was right." "Anyways! I just finished working with the sheep and all the farms work is done... but Elizabeth might need some help with her reading and writing she's learning in her room, by the way I'm John, John Nomso."
"Is it alright for me to go in your house Mr Nomso and... Elizabeth's room?" Ziade questions with a calm face.
"... hahahaha!!! 'Cough!!' 'Cough', sorry Ziade it was just me choking on dirt I inhaled. Ziade! You are always welcome in my house and... you will need to get permission to enter Elizabeth's room from her..." They start walking towards the big farm house but just before they enter.. "Ziade since you're really smart I think that you like my daughter... is this true?"
"...No just looking for interesting friends..." Ziade replies.
John has a serious face on and replies, "Kid you might be smart but if you do truly conquer my daughters heart you must be strong enough to keep her or your enemy's will use her or others might snatch her away from you, understand?" John says in a serious voice while remembering his wife...
"Just friends, I'm not looking for relationships anytime soon."
"Hmm alright." John says while inspecting the child in front of him.
After careful consideration and thinking Ziade decides to tell only him. "I am a Sword Master and am able to contend with 7th level magicians and body cultivators." Ziade finishes his words and knows that he needs someone to actually know his power level but this is just his estimate. "I have mastered the sword and wish to cultivate magic and my body in the academy."
"Hahaha! Funny child, c'mon, come inside." John laughs while replying.
'I knew it, so I'm safe for now.' Ziade guesses right.
John stares at Ziade's eyes affirming something... "Come... I am having a family meeting." They both walk in the house and Ziade sits on the couch in the lounge where he was lead.
John puts three glasses of water on the coffee table in the middle where the lounges surround.
John states, "I will fetch Elizabeth.. 'cough!, 'cough...'" He walks up the stairs.
While Ziade waits he takes a sip of water and looks at the snakes that compress Masamune which now lies against the couch.
Elizabeth and John Nomso come down from the stairs, Elizabeth notices Ziade and smiles, "Father what's this all about?"
Ziade makes Masamune float in the air next to his bed and dares not let it on the ground... because it might not weigh anything to him but it ways ten tonne to anything and anyone else.
...Ziade slowly falls asleep... while the lava lamp still floats around his room...

"These strings can go in between your teeth where your brush cannot reach and this is smooth paper cloth that you use to wipe your ass. Would you like to buy them?"
